I worked not so long ago in the city of Melets of the Podkarpatsk Voivodstvo in Poland.

The city is famous for the fact that there are quite large enterprises of medium engineering, one of which in Soviet times made AN2 aircraft, and now Black Hawk helicopters.

Here is the corporate. One of my colleagues over the age of fifty sits down to me and begins:

Do you know what An-2 aircraft used to do in the USSR?

and yes.

There was history with them. The pilot’s door closed poorly, so the lock was lifted.

Yes, and what?

There was a warning from the USSR. Type, lock back to place, in the lower corner of the door.

Why is?

The door blinked, the pilot came, squeezed not the lock, the door opened. There is no upper stream.

I try to be polite without talking about this guy.

You are what! How interesting!

Yes, there were times...



Then I heard this story from another colleague. Then from the boss when we flew with him from Frankfurt.

Then from another colleague in Ufa, where we drank beer under a sprinkled horse, waiting for a delayed flight to Moscow.

And then another colleague:

You know, there were planes before.

- AN2, the door to which you need to suck because you could not even make a normal door?

How do you know?

I am from Siberia. Any child in Siberia knows that a Polish aircraft must be crashed before it opens, otherwise it will not work.

The eyes of the colleagues, if possible, jumped out of the turtle:

I thought it was a legend and not true.

Yes is no. Melecka Summer Factory is not only known in Poland.
